Pro  5761     Bartlett, TN |  Subject: Perfect PushupI have been using the Perfect Pushup (Yes same one as seen on TV) since Christmas. These things really do give you a great upper body workout, especially the shoulders and chest. |

Pro 5761 Bartlett, TN | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup Yes, they rotate as you go up and down, kind of like a punch in karate. |

Rather than getting both the Perfect Pushup and Perfect Pullup, I'd say buy a set of gymnastics rings. You can use these for both pull ups and get one heck of a push up and dip workout as well. |

| Expert 882 Fort Bragg | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I've used both the perfect push-up and the rings. I like the rings. It adds a whole new dimension to your workout. I've done push-ups with dumbbells under my hands to go lower, I've also done push-ups with my shins on a stability ball and my hands on an upside down bosu ball, but nothing compares to the rings. You go deep and you're fighting lateral movement. Great exercise. |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I have not used them but have thought about getting them. I have been doing pushups pretty much everyday since the beginning of the year. While doing them last night my wife mentioned she saw this on a local Dallas TV news cast. They do a section called Deal or Dud where they put products to the test. This got a deal. |

| Elite 2608 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup The device just seems gimmicky, although I suppose it's not bad. If the idea is to engage more muscle groups and do functional training, try this variation. This is the T-push up. You don't even need the dumbbells to start, but you won't need to buy heavy ones to get a lot out of this exercise. |

| Expert 882 Fort Bragg | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I've seen these without dumbbells. I bet the dumbbells would add a good dimension. We did them at physical training. We don't have any equipment when we're outside in formation and the group did this. I like it because it mixes up things and keeps your muscles guessing.

Member 56 Brevard | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I get a pair of Perfect Push Ups for Christmas, and they definately work out different muscles vs normal hand to floor push-ups. I use to do 50+ normal pushups at a time, and I and struggling to get to 20 with the Perfects. They definately are doing something. |

Extreme Veteran 467 | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I actually know the model seen on the ad, and he told me they work great. I own three personal training businesses so checked them out myself. They do work. They do work different muscles, so no gimmick there. |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup To make push ups more challenging I started doing them alternating lifting one leg so one left leg up then switch and next with right leg up...made them harder. Once those get easy I'm going to try with ankles/feet on a ball and if that is to easy lifting one leg off the ball. I love the challenge of doing something new and then getting it. |

| New user 17 auab | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup My roomate out in the sandbox arrived with a pair and said I could try them. I was knocking out around 200 regular push ups a day in sets varying from 10 to 25 reps. During my spring PRT I pushed out close to 70 push ups. I could only accomplish 25 perfect push ups my first time. I use them 3 times a week now and love them. I use them with the regular push up variations ie incline, wide, ect. I will pick some up as soon as I get home. |

Regular 77 Alaska | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I like that T-Pushup. Just make sure you got the hex dumbells, and not the round ones! That would be really funny to catch on video. |

Regular 59 Hawaii | Subject: RE: Perfect Pushup I borrowed one of my soldiers' perfect push-up to try them out. They definately work different muscle groups. I think I will buy myself a pair now, thats how much I liked them. |
